My question involves real estate located in the State of: Pennsylvania.
I live in Pennsylvania and have owned my property for 22 years. We have new neighbors who moved in about 5 years ago. When we bought our home we were always told that our property lines went from one pine tree on one side of our land straight across to the pine tree on the other side. We had our land surveyed in the early 2000's and put up a fence a few feet in front of our said property line based on the car conducted survey. Our neighbors boarding our property recently had a survey conducted, as well and have differing results.
There surveying company knocked our door and told me my survey was wrong and that the property no longer belongs to us but now belongs to our neighbors. We have a fence and bushes running all along our "apparently wrong" property line and the neighbor has begun cutting the bushes down. We notified him initially when the survey was conducted (yesterday) and let him know we were going to be going to court to file for adverse possession of the land and still a day later he decided to cut down the bushes.
So my question is being that I have lived in my home for 22 years, through a previous owner of the neighboring property for 17 years with no complaint or issue, do I have a case of adverse possession? And just because my neighbors survey conflicts with mine and was told mine is wrong, does he have the right to start ripping out my bushes?
His survey results came back just yesterday and he had already begun demolition.
